Are You Carbon Neutral?

This is actually Part 2 of my earlier blog: “Absolute Science”.

The first news release from the Montreal Conference on Climate Change contains claims that the Conference itself is carbon neutral and then later in the same news release says that it is actually carbon positive.

I will try to explain in non-scientific terms. It appears that the very act of attending the conference – about 10,000 people are expected – is something called carbon negative. That is because travelers burn fuel in jets and cars to get to the conference. And using computers, lights etc. also is carbon negative in the way those things use up energy. To the people attending the conference, that is a very, very bad thing.

So to offset the carbon negative, 100 trees will be planted on Mount Royal. In addition, 10,000 wind power credits will be cashed in to offset the otherwise carbon negative conference. All of this supposedly happens before the conference even gets underway. Check out the official news release:

Don’t laugh yet. These people want to rule the world. And tell you what to do and when to do it.

Crichton has these type of people pegged perfectly in his book, “State of Fear.” Every time you see a news report about the imminent death of planet due to climate change, you’ll know the real truth behind it.

Obviously man's mere existence is a serious threat to Mother Earth. Maybe we should scrap 20th Century technology altogether and return to those green days of yesterday – when we burned wood to heat our homes and cook our food. Oops -- more carbon negative.

Maybe colonizing the moon isn't such a bad idea. What if all the greenies decided to move to the moon – so that Mother Earth could live a little longer?
